Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion

Mr. Damien Owens:

I cannot talk about whether it should be a grant scheme or whatever the method. As regards how we can move forward, we are looking for certainty where it does not exist at this point in time. Our mechanisms, be it the standard or whatever, must evolve. If we know of another mechanism of deterioration, it should be added in; we may discover more. We may not get information that all the mechanisms of deterioration at the same time but we must allow the situation to evolve and not look for certainty where it does not exist at the moment.
